Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A 992 mb low pressure system located offshore North
Carolina will shift eastward today, dragging a cold front across
the western Atlantic waters. The front currently extends from the
low through 31N69W across the central Bahamas and east- central
Cuba. Strong to gale-force SW winds are expected through Wed
morning within about 120 nm E of the front and N of 26N,
accompanied by strong thunderstorms. Strong to gale-force W to NW
winds and very rough seas are expected behind the front and N of
26N through Wed. The front will reach from near Bermuda to eastern
Cuba by this evening, from 31N59W to the Windward Passage by Wed
morning, and from 31N51W to the N coast of Hispaniola by Thu
morning. The low will lift out to the northeast by mid week, as
the front weakens while moving east of the area, with a trailing
portion of the front stalling across the coastal waters of Puerto
Rico early Fri before dissipating. Winds and seas will diminish
from west to east through late week as high pressure builds over
the western Atlantic in the wake of the front.
